    The website start.jhipster.tech/jdl-studio provides three templates: default sample, simple monolith, and simple microservice. You can choose one, so should I try to guess which template you picked? I’m guessing you chose simple microservice. Am I correct? Commented Nov 15 at 4:13
  • @life888888 no, i choose first, could this be a bug in the CacheConfiguration class? Commented Nov 15 at 9:24

The website start.jhipster.tech/jdl-studio provides three templates: default sample, simple monolith, and simple microservice.

I couldn't tell which template the questioner used, so I verified all three.

  • templates-1: simple microservice, download file: jhipster-jdl-simple-microservice.jdl put the file into directory name: jhipster-jdl-simple-microservice

  • templates-2: simple monolith, download file: jhipster-jdl-simple-monolith.jdl put the file into directory name: jhipster-jdl-simple-monolith

  • templates-3: default sample, download file: jhipster-jdl-default-sample.jdl put the file into directory name: jhipster-jdl-default-sample

This configuration file does not contain any settings related to the Application.

Therefore, we must provide the relevant Application configuration requirements:

  • applicationType : monolith
  • authenticationType : session
  • buildTool : Maven
  • database : PostgreSQL
  • cacheProvider : ehcache ....

Therefore, we need to add the Application settings to jhipster-jdl-default-sample.jdl, making it jhipster-jdl-default-sample-ADD-APP-CONFIG.jdl

put the file into directory name: jhipster-jdl-default-sample-ADD-APP-CONFIG

Round - 4 - default sample - ADD APP CONFIG

cd D:\WK\jhipster-jdl-default-sample-ADD-APP-CONFIG

// Use Data Transfer Objects (DTO)

The only difference between this file (jhipster-jdl-default-sample-ADD-APP-CONFIG.jdl) and jhipster-jdl-default-sample-ADD-APP-CONFIG.jdl is the application settings added at the very beginning of the file.

application {
  config {
    applicationType monolith
    baseName DemoApp
    packageName com.demo.app
    authenticationType session
    buildTool maven
    prodDatabaseType postgresql

    enableHibernateCache true
    cacheProvider ehcache
    dtoSuffix DTO
    clientFramework angular

    enableTranslation false
  }

Note:

In Round - 3 - default sample (jhipster-jdl-default-sample.jdl), I was unable to reproduce the exact same error message as the questioner.

My error message is:

If you are using the default sample, its settings do not include application-related settings, nor does it include the redis cacheProvider setting. I don't understand why your settings are displaying unexplained Redis-related error messages.
